Chapter 10: The Mystery of Life
Treading snow was sleepy, and suddenly the world was turned upside down by this burst, and he suddenly became angry, got his head out of Shen Yanzhi's arms, and glared at Tang Carp, only to see that Tang Carp was squinting at it with a leisurely face, as if waiting for Treading Snow to get angry, and then take care of it.
Treading snow understands very well in his heart, after all, this Tang carp has been bullying it from time to time since he relied on its house, and his reputation is that there are no rules and no square circle, and his intestines are green in the past few days, so why did he agree to stay with this demon king of the mixed world, if it wasn't for the cold weather, he wouldn't be next to her!
For a while, one person and one dog were caught off guard and looked at each other, and there was a knife hidden in the snow eye, and a thunderbolt with lightning was handed to Tang Li's eyes, but Tang Li's soft and rigid obstacles were blocked.
Taxue knew that the dog had to bow his head under the eaves, and immediately drilled his head back into Shen Yanzhi's arms, but this was his own house, and he wanted to cry without tears, so he had to stammer at Tang Li.
"Don't worry! I think people are amazing! ”
Shen Yanzhi stared at these two big eyes, and the scene of Treading Xue's final defeat hesitated slightly, stagnated for a while, and finally came back to his senses and hugged Treading Snow and leaned over slightly before going out.
Tang Li nodded in response.
After coming to the West House, bending down and putting the dog in the corner of the table, Shen Yanzhi went to the bed, took out a crumpled and slightly yellowed medical book from the package, returned to sit down in front of the bookcase, and began to study intently.
Taxue got up from the table, staring at Shen Yanzhi intently, while walking back and forth as if he was checking the post.
But that Shen Yanzhi was extremely concentrated, and he didn't pay attention to it at all, and he was not affected at all, and he was still sitting in a serious position. After stepping on the snow for a while, he lost his mind to stalk, and fell back on his stomach, sleepy.
The snow outside the house was getting heavier and heavier, and I curled up in the snow without realizing the cold, squeezed my head into my thighs, and warmed myself with the hot air exhaled from my nose.
And Shen Yanzhi didn't come back to his senses until he heard the strange noise outside, and when he stretched out his head to look, it turned out that the branches were bent over by the snow, until they couldn't support it and broke apart to make a "click" sound.
This year's snow is so heavy! It's been a long time since I've seen such a big snowfall, and it looks like next year will be a good day.
Seeing the thick layer of snow outside, Shen Yanzhi suddenly recalled that when he was a child, he would go to the cellar with his parents every winter to get the winter food stored in the autumn.
It's full and it's not easy to enter, every time my father fishes with a rope around his waist, the rope is long and hard, and Shen Yanzhi is very uncomfortable, so every time he goes down and comes out, he is very unhappy.
But my father was always happy, and after untying the rope, he would pat himself on the head as a reward for himself.
Shen Yanzhi remembered the past, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly. Now that things are wrong, parents have left them, and they must learn to grow up.
Retracting his gaze from the window and seeing the snow curled up on the table, Shen Yanzhi got up and took a blanket to spread on his legs, picked up the half-asleep snow from the table and put it on his lap, and then began to read again.
I don't know what happened in my sleep, I just feel that my whole body is warm and very comfortable, and there are a lot of big chicken legs waiting for me in my dreams, one after another, I can't eat them all, is this the legendary paradise? The saliva was watering, and I fell asleep more deeply before I knew it.
Tang Li drank a pot of wine, got up and picked up the cloud brocade robe that was on the soft side and prepared to put it on. The apricot forest on the side was dozing, and when he saw this, he was in a daze and ready to get up to serve, but before he came to Tang Li's side, Tang Li had already finished dressing.
"This snow is so heavy, is Miss going out?" Xinglin asked with a puzzled expression.
Tang Li walked to the door of the hall, looked at the thick snow in the yard, couldn't help but shudder, and carefully pulled up the collar with his hand, not letting go of a gap.
"A few days ago, when you went to the market to buy, the village chief came to ask, saying that there was a fierce beast from Jiang Village next door, and that thing was very fierce, and several old men with wooden shovels did not dare to approach it, and they ate many villagers' livestock along the way.
We live here thanks to the village chief's care so smoothly, and now Shen Yanzhi doesn't need to take care of his body every day, I will go down the mountain today to take a look, I'm afraid it will take a few days to come back, you take good care of that kid at home, wait for me to come back. ”
"Then miss, you must be careful~ Don't freeze when it's cold!"
"Don't worry, the village chief has arranged it."
Xinglin listened, and Tang Li went out.
When he walked to the courtyard, he found that Shen Yanzhi of the West House was really reading intently, as if his two eyes were about to stare at a hole in the medical book, Tang Li couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw him so attentive.
It's okay like this, it's the same end of the world that has fallen into people, and you still have to look forward to being a man.
Without waiting for Shen Yanzhi to notice, Tang Li retracted his gaze and walked down the mountain.
--------------------------
A few days apart, this night, Tang Li just said goodbye to the village chief's Xie Yan and returned to the fence courtyard, and saw the two of them and a dog eating dinner, Xinglin saw Tang Li coming back and immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and got up to greet him, while taking off the heavy robe for Tang Li, he asked earnestly: "Miss?" Did the trip go well? ”
Tang Li took off his robe, felt that his body had become a lot lighter, and stretched out comfortably.
"It's just a beast in the mountains, not to mention."
Inadvertently turned his head and saw Shen Yanzhi in front of the dining table, who did not continue to eat, but stood stiffly.
"I've already eaten at the village chief's house, so you can continue to eat and leave me alone." Tang Li said with a smile, then walked to the table next to the window, picked up the stove and prepared to cook wine and food.
Hearing this, Shen Yanzhi sat down again, and Xinglin carefully looked Tang Li's body up and down, and only sat down to continue eating after making sure that it was okay, only the snow treading turned a blind eye the whole process, as if he was a starving ghost reincarnated.
After dinner, Shen Yanzhi went back to the house to continue to fight with the medical book, and Taxue naturally followed Shen Yanzhi back to the room. Tang Li leaned against the window with a puzzled expression and watched the movement in the room, holding the warm wine glass in both hands
"Xinglin, it's very strange..."
"What's weird?" Xinglin asked suspiciously.
"How did the snow start sticking to Shen Yanzhi in just a few days? Isn't it what happened when I wasn't there? ”
Xinglin looked at Tang Li's suspicious eyes, shook off the rag in his hand with a gossipy face, and rushed to Tang Li's front and sat down.
"Miss doesn't know anything, it started from the day you left!"
"Oh?" Tang Lili raised his eyebrows.
"That day, Taxue was reluctant to be thrown by you to look at Shen Yanzhi, maybe you weren't there that night, in the past, it had to sleep in the main house with you, but after dinner, he took the initiative to follow Shen Yanzhi's house, and it has been like this every day since then."
It sounds very interesting, Tang Li feels that he must have missed something, there must be something in it! This kid still has this kind of charm? Even the snow treading that no one can look down on?
Tang Li thought about the wine glass in his hand lightly with his index finger, then stood up and put down the wine glass, waved his sleeves and put his hand behind his back, and walked towards the West House.
Before Tang Li entered the door, he saw Taxue quietly resting on Shen Yanzhi's lap from the window, and his two little eyes were slightly closed with satisfaction. And Shen Yanzhi was still like the day he left, his brows were furrowed and he stared at the medical book in front of him, and he didn't find it until Tang Li walked to him.
Tang Li leaned against the door frame, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and suddenly said playfully: "Yan Zhi, haven't you slept yet?" ”
Shen Yanzhi was shocked in his heart, both surprised by Tang Carp's sudden appearance and shocked by Tang Carp's affectionate title.
After all, Tang Li's prestige is well known in Guangyun Country, and a person like her would really treat herself so kindly, she didn't dare to think about it in the past, she only thought she was testing herself last time, after these few meetings, Shen Yanzhi felt that she was thinking too much.
Shen Yanzhi hurriedly moved the snow on his legs to the table, got up and made a gesture, and stood a little restrained.
"Sister has been tired for many days, hasn't she rested?"
Tang Li saw that he was serious again, so he walked past Shen Yanzhi and came to the soft collapse in the house, sat lazily and crookedly and did not answer.
Shen Yanzhi turned to face Tang Li, and continued to speak: "In the past few days that my sister has left, Yanzhi has not dared to be lazy, and she has been studying medical books every day, so my sister can rest assured. ”
"Yes, self-motivated."
Tang Li was not interested in the medical book he said, so he praised it perfunctorily, and suddenly changed the topic.
"As far as I know, your father is Shen Jiang, the deputy general under General Meng's seat, and your mother is a popular person around Empress Dowager Xu, why are your mother and son chased and killed on the wilderness road? Second, when Doctor Qi was dying, he entrusted you to me, instead of asking me to send you back to the Shen Mansion..."
"He's not my father."
Shen Yanzhi knew Tang Li's doubts, and since she asked, she had nothing to say, even though her nominal father was her enemy in the court.
"Miss is a high and powerful person, everyone knows it, since you left the court, General Meng has rebelled, Miss You must have had a premonition when you took me in, right?"
Tang Li's face did not fluctuate much when she heard this, but her heart was indeed as Shen Yanzhi said, she was very uneasy when she saw Shen Yanzhi's mother and son that day.
Doctor Qi was not in the palace but was suddenly chased and killed and appeared in the wilderness, it must have been like this because something happened in the palace, and he had more or less guessed something, but what does this court dispute have to do with an uncrowned hairy boy, why should the fight between them hurt the innocent more, so in the end she agreed to take Shen Yanzhi in.
Shen Yanzhi looked at Tang Li's reaction, and she raised her chin noncommittally to let Shen Yanzhi continue.
"After General Meng rebelled, he ordered Shen Jiang to force my mother to poison the Empress Dowager Xu, and the Empress Dowager Xu naturally refused to have the grace of knowing my mother, so Shen Jiang threatened that if my mother did not do what he said, he would kill me.
My mother had no choice but to take me away from the Shen Mansion, who knew that Shen Jiang was ruthless, and actually sent a killer to completely eradicate my mother and son, and then I bumped into Miss You. ”
Tang Li was slightly surprised, and asked suspiciously: "Tiger poison doesn't eat children, why is he here?" ”
"Because I'm not his Shen Jiang's biological son at all!" Shen Yanzhi's eyes were slightly red, and he said softly.
